I find that PHPBB is much easier for idiots like me to customise (ie, tie in with the look of existing website) - i wouldn't have a clue how to add a menu to the top of snitz, but wtih PHPBB, it's just simple HTML - and the basic no add-ons version looks better than snitz does.

I will say however, that there seem to be a lot more mods available for snitz...and ppl are very helpful in getting you through difficulties setting them up.

So both have their good and bad points.

I think if sntiz is to keep in the running they need to update their default interface to look a little more attractive/modern
